À propos de cet audio

What happens when a man of today's overconnected world sets off alone across the Pacific at the age of 71? Christian Williams, a veteran sailor and writer, planned a 6,000-mile voyage as a test of his own seamanship and endurance, and to fulfill a lifelong goal. But he found his focus quickly turning from the surrounding sea to all of us. Is anyone the same person when no one else is there? Do we dare to find out? In a new world of soaring seabirds, violent storms, and majestic emptiness, Williams discovered answers to questions he had never asked about who we are, why we sail, and the universal fear of being alone.

Alone Together is a complete technical course in offshore sailing technique and yacht preparation, and a philosophical inquiry into what it takes to be truly alive in the 21st century.

Christian has a way with writing that takes the reader into his world. I listen and read and watch daily as I experience my own sailing and life adventures. He is a gift.

A beautiful journey

At first we weren’t too sure about listening to this whole book but it didn’t take long till we were right there sailing along with Christian. Thoroughly enjoyed this read and didn’t want it to end. We would recommend this book !!!

Great book

Thanks for sharing the interesting details of you passages. It was of great interest to a future blue water cruiser. Amazing writing and soothing spoken word made time fly and I'm sad it it already over.

A wonderful read (or listen in my case)

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It brought back many memories of my time on the sailboat I used to own. Thank you.

Sailing along with you the whole way

This book has far surpassed my expectations. Williams takes us on an amazing voyage on Thelonius and engages us in such interesting conversations! This book at once inspires me to sail and cautions me to learn more and prepare thoroughly. More importantly it challenges me to consider myself and my relationships with my environment and especially with those I know and love. Thank you Mr Williams for sharing this with us.

What a trip!

As a cruising sailor myself, I am aware of how long cruises can sometimes be a bit slow and repetitive . I was afraid this might limit the entertainment value of the story. Boy was I wrong! The author brings you along as crewmate and co-captain and never fails to entertain you with the trials and tribulations of such a courageous journey. Be prepared to hook on your jack lines and go for a ride!

Glad I came along for the ride!

Probably everyone in my life must have heard me talking about some guy who sailed to Hawaii alone in 21 days because of this book! I stumbled upon CW on Youtube as he's got a rich library of tips and journeys documented on there. I usually play my audio books sped up to acquire more content, but not with this book. I wanted to take my time, to relax, to feel myself alone on a 32 foot boat in the trade winds of the Pacific Ocean. Thank you for writing this book. I'm listening to his second book now, and who knows maybe the third soon.

Spolier alert:
CW has a way with his word to capture your attention, your imagination. When he talks about hearing childrens laughter on the deck I can hear it too. When he talks about how we are never alone, we always have the memories and the conversations of people in our heads, his writing enlightened me to tap into those thoughts when I'm alone as well.

Quality single handed sailing conent.

I loved being an imaginary member of the crew for this singlehanded sailing trip. A gentle monologue exploring the delights and anxieties of embarking on this passage to Hawaii from California.

A delightful journey
